Abel Womack’s all-in-one, modular, turnkey automation solution utilizing FANUC robots
The demand for robots and automation is rapidly increasing, with many new packaging and palletizing applications. According to the Association for Advancing Automation, robot orders in North America were the second-highest on record in Q1 2021, and there are several reasons why this is the case.
Labor shortages and higher costs are significantly impacting productivity across processing lines, manufacturing sites, and distribution centers. Couple those factors with a massive shift to online shopping and the associated demand for faster delivery, and companies realize that they must automate in order to stay competitive.
Robots – more affordable than you may think
Robots work non-stop to accommodate these rising demands, including times when the regular labor force isn’t available or where social distancing requirements make it difficult. And this shift towards automation will only continue as organizations compare the challenges and costs of manual labor to that of automation- with its advancements in functionality, lower costs, ease of implementation, and the ability for robots to collaborate with workers.
To help companies navigate their way in today’s competitive landscape, Abel Womack specializes in complete intralogistics solutions like the ROBOXX.
